What are some things that have to do with consonance?

Answer 1

(1) The repetition, at close intervals, of the final consonants of accented syllables or important words, especially at the ends of words, as in blank and think or strong and string.

(2) The repetition of identical or similar consonants in neighboring words whose vowel sounds are different (e.g. coming home, hot foot). The term is most commonly used, though, for a special case of such repetition in which the words are identical except for the stressed vowel sound (group / grope, middle / muddle, wonder / wander); this device, combining alliteration and terminal consonance, is sometimes known more precisely as 'rich consonance,' and is frequently used in modern poetry at the ends of verse lines as an alternative to full rhyme (aka. half‐rhyme). Consonance may be regarded as the counterpart to the vowel‐sound repetition known as assonance. The adjective consonantal is sometimes ambiguous in that it also means, more generally, 'pertaining to consonants.'

(3) A pleasing combination of sounds; sounds in agreement with tone. Also, the close repetition of the same end consonants of stressed syllables with differing vowel sounds.
